**Hi… I’m Girlie Girl 🐾**
I’m a 10-year-old Collie mix, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s this: I just want to be *your* dog.
I’m what they call a “Velcro dog.” That means wherever you go… I go too. Walking to the kitchen? I’ll be right there. Cooking dinner? I’d love a cozy bed nearby so I can watch you and smell all your delicious creations. Relaxing on the couch? I’ll be at your feet, looking up at you with my big eyes full of love. Working from home? Knitting me a sweater? Having a quiet cocktail hour? Perfect. I’ll just be here, keeping you company.
I don’t know how to jump on the couch (no one ever taught me), but that’s okay — I’m happiest laying close by, getting head scratches and being near my person. I check in on you around the house just to make sure you’re still there. You are very important to me.
I’m sweet, loyal, a little shy at first, and sometimes a bit nervous while I’m still learning how this whole “safe forever home” thing works. I handle loud noises well, but I’m still figuring out that when the leash comes out, it doesn’t mean I’m going somewhere scary. I’m learning that I’m safe now.
I’m crate trained, house trained, and I’m working really hard on potty routines. If you take me out consistently, I catch on fast! I’m also practicing “come” and “sit.” Treats are a new concept for me, but I’m starting to understand they’re pretty great.
I get along well with other dogs — big or small — and I’d really love a dog sibling to help show me the ropes. I’m respectful of older cats, too. Kids over 10 are okay, but I may run off if they approach too quickly. I do best with calm energy.
Sometimes I drink water like I’ve just crossed a desert. I’m not sure why — maybe I didn’t always have enough before. My foster is helping me slow down, and I’m doing better every day. I’m eating well, I’ve started doing little happy jumps, and I’m even discovering how fun it is to run. I think my playful side is just beginning to bloom.
My dream home is quiet and cozy. Maybe with an older couple, a single person, someone who works from home, or someone retired. I seem to feel especially safe with women — maybe it’s the softer voice. I don’t need a huge yard, but I would love a backyard to explore a little before coming back inside (because let’s be honest, I’d rather be wherever you are).
What do I need most?
• A dog sibling
• A calm home with adults or kids 10+
• A yard to stretch my legs
More than anything, I need someone patient. Someone who will show me that this is my home, that I’m staying, and that I can finally relax. Teach me how to chill. Remind me I’m safe. Let me follow you around and love you with my whole heart.
I might love water a little too much…
But I promise I will love you even more. 💛
